Great ideas for animators who are starting out or looking for their next
job - Packed with information and insights - Perfect for film students
and art students. Animation is a multibillion-dollar industry. Here's an
insider's guide to getting into that industry, staying there, and
getting ahead. Author David B. Levy has interviewed the top pros in
animation, including Steven Hillenburg, creator of SpongeBob
SquarePants; Al Brodax, producer of Yellow Submarine; Teddy Newton,
character designer on The Incredibles; Linda Simensky, senior director
of PBS Kids; John R. Dilworth, creator of Courage the Cowardly Dog; and
dozens of others to get their insights on creating a portfolio or reel,
meeting animators, networking, and making the leap from working for
others to pitching and selling. A resource section lists animation
schools, film festivals, studios, Web sites, and publications to get
budding animators off to an animated start.
